]]>Hey all. So for those that missed the last post I, taboo_, had a medical emergency. That was five weeks ago to the day and for now the major surgeries are over and my life is starting to return back to some kind of normalcy. Firstly this means I’m now out of excuses to no longer be at work (bugger) and secondly WE’RE GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!!!

The notes for Aldia’s keep are basically done and we’re just needing to flesh out the extra content and figure out what Souls news has happened over the last 5wks that we can’t not talk about. Basically there will still be a recording period and a cutting period, but keep those feeds on refresh for the next week or so.

For anyone wanting a bit of an insight into what the doctors have done to me over the last five weeks check out the album here. It’s not too horrific but not for anyone easily put off by blood and fleshy bits where there shouldn’t be fleshy bits.

For now, once again, thanks so much for being engaged by our nonsense. We truly do appreciate every listener we get and we hope to talk soon.

PS. Church has taken to calling me Lucatiel on account of half my face falling off.

]]>Hey all. Long time no cast. It’s been disgustingly too long, but I assure you this time it’s been completely out of our control.

So we had our schedule thrown out of whack initially as Church had to go away for a little for work. We were both getting quite antsy to get a new episode out and had planned to record it this past weekend. Unfortunately things did not quite go to plan.

When visiting a friend, upon arrival I stuck my nose over his gate and was greeted by his rather large dog on the end of my nose. Quite litterally I have had most of my right nostril bitten off by a dog. It’s been a frustratingly slow few days of being shuffled around hospitals, wards and loads of mind numbingly boring down time while bed ridden waiting for operations that are often times delayed.

I had my first operation with the plastic surgeon yesterday. They were able to clean it up and get most of the structure back to how it should be (the doggy managed to get down to cartilage and mangled it pretty good). From here I have a second operation on Friday to have what is called a “forehead skin flap” done. Don’t google image search that before lunch.

After that I will be in hospital for an undetermined period of time and then in and out for weeks having anything up to five more operations in an attempt to try and get me looking normal again. This is not a fun time for me and I assure you all I’d rather be recording and cutting audio instead, but it is what it is and I’m left putting my trust in the doctors and doing whatever needs to be done.

Regardless, despite how it may seem currently we haven’t gone anywhere. I can’t however tell you with certainty when our next episode will air. Thank you all for your ongoing support. It’s been awesome making this great little community and we both hope you all will still be interested in our banter when I come out the other side with a new nose. For anyone that celebrates it – Merry Christmas and a happy new year go everyone.

]]>David Stuccio, a big fan of the Souls games and dear friend of our podcast was one of the lucky few that got to have some quality hands-on time with Bloodborne this weekend. As such I ravenously jumped on that situation and tried to squeeze as much new information out of him as possible.

So, Bloodborne. Where did you get an opportunity to play it?

At the EBgames Expo this weekend [3-5 Oct.] in Sydney, Australia.

Compared to the other exhibits did it seem to be getting much attention?

The queue for the game was actually quite short compared to other stalls. Due to the game receiving an 18+ rating it was hiding away at the back of the PlayStation booth along with the other, gorier games.

There was little advertising to actually even let you know it was there, but talking to the other people that were in line for the 18+ booth, a large amount we’re just waiting for Bloodborne. As expected there was a strong undercurrent of hype amongst the people who have been playing the souls series.

Once experimenting with how each button worked I definitely felt as though I was playing a souls game.

What were you presented with when picking up the controller for the first time, and how much were they allowing you to do with the demo?

When you got to the game, upon pushing start you were taken to a character selection screen with four archetypal builds to choose from. There was the standard build with a cleaver-saw and blunderbuss. A heavy build that had a hammer, straight sword and blunderbuss. A light build with twinblades and a pistol. And the last build, also classed as heavy, had a hunter’s axe and pistol.

After you picked your class you were taken to a loading screen with the controller layout for the game. The controls were very similar to the previous souls games but they did have some notable changes. L1 is now used to change weapon type (transform its function), L2 was used to shoot your gun and triangle is now your default heal button.

In terms of game time I was allowed to play for as long I wanted. Once the game started I was free to explore anywhere I could access and there was no real guide on where to go and what to do. I found this to be a nice trait as it really allowed me to get lost in the world. The demo did have a boss, which has been shown in the trailers, but sadly I died a few times getting to it and never got the chance to explore past that point.

How do you feel the different classes/builds differed?

All the appearances of the builds were the same except for the twinblade class. That class had a face mask with a beak and a feathered cape. The movement speed for each class I found to be the same when it came to dodging, and the attack speed differed depending on the weapon. Just like in DS, as a general rule, the bigger the weapon – the slower the attack.

Once you got into the game how did the controller “feel” regarding interaction with the character? Did you immediately feel at home coming from DaS or had it all been turned on its head?

I didn’t feel lost at all having to input actions for the character. Once experimenting with how each button worked I definitely felt as though I was playing a souls game.

How did the game play compared to the souls games? And what noticeable changes have they made to combat?

The feel of the game was faster paced compared to DaS/DeS, and the player moved quicker in general. When it came to the new dodging mechanic, locking onto an enemy and doing the dash did feel a bit strange. I wasn’t used to how the character was moving after coming from only using a roll to evade. It made quite a difference. In saying this though, after using the dash a few times I came to like the feature and found it a nice improvement over the standard roll as it kept the game at a quicker pace.

In terms of combat mechanics a lot of it felt the same. You had your standard R1 light attack and an R2 heavy attack. The new feature of the heavy attack though is that now you can hold it to charge it up and deal more damage.

With the shield now being replaced by a gun [or a torch as a second item] it made you more reliant on the dodge move to avoid attacks. I found the dodge really useful to quickly get in close and deal damage then quickly back away to avoid being hit. The new health system is interesting too. When taking damage I found myself actually attacking more aggressively to get some health back (very cool feature) as opposed to breaking combat to use a blood vial.

The gun was also very cool. Depending on what gun you started the demo with they would attack differently. The blunderbuss (shotgun) was good for close combat and dealing the most damage while the pistol worked better from range.

The guns aren’t going to be the be-all-and-end-all of a fight though as the melee attacks are still the best way to deal the most damage. The guns also featured as the new way to counter and deal critical hits. When a shot is fired during an enemy’s attack it will cause them to stagger giving you an opportunity to follow it up with an R1 for the riposte. The back stab dynamic has also changed – you now need to hit the enemy with a charged heavy attack and then follow it up with an R1 to pull off the back stab.

I believe that the way the game looks and the lighting effects used is what people thought they were getting in Dark Souls 2, but tenfold.

How did the weapon transformation thing work?

The weapon transformations are really cool. You now only have one weapon equipped in your right hand and when you hit L1 it changes its characteristics, attack speed and damage. In the souls games when you changed weapons the one in your hand would just disappear and you would get a new one out of nowhere. This feature is now gone and I feel it gives the game a sense of realism.

The transformations are very quick and when done mid combo will actual pull off a new attack that deals more damage. For example, with the twinblade, hitting L1 breaks it off into two daggers and when you look at the dagger being held in your hand you can actually see the second sword within the main weapon. Then when transforming the dagger mid attack-combo you can see the second dagger pop out and hit like a long sword as the left hand grabs it after the swing hits. It’s a really cool animation.

What can you tell us about the environment?

The environment of the world within the alpha was fantastic. It was nice and dark with a real Gothic feeling. As soon as I started the game the look made my mouth drop and the graphics were so clear that even the buildings in the distance captured my eye. The amount of detail was incredible – from the look of the building to the floor and objects around the world. It all seemed lifelike. I believe that the way the game looks and the lighting effects used is what people thought they were getting in Dark Souls 2, but tenfold.

To aid in the graphics though the sound of the world also draws you in. Even though I was surround by a number of people my focus was solely taken by the game and everything else was very quickly drowned out.

What can you tell us about the enemies?

They were very different from any other souls games. The enemies were actual mobile. They’d walk around, usually in groups, and if you remained hidden they would continue to walk in their pack to their desired location. They seemed more aware of sound too. Using your gun would draw in a number of them at once which would usually end very dangerously for you.

When it came to attack patterns they’d attack almost like the hollows from DaS1. But now a new feature with the enemies is that I heard them speak to you as you were fighting them. The headset I was using was soft but I heard one even say “don’t get me” as he attacked me.

The enemy’s appearance also differed between the humanoid ones and you could tell that the people were slowly turning into wolves. Some of them were showing wolf-like features such as facial hair and large amounts of arm hair.

Any particularly exciting new items you can remember?

If you have played other souls games the items in this game will be nothing new. You have your standard healing item and fire bombs in the demo. A couple new items I found though was the pebble, which is used for drawing one enemy away from a group (a great new feature), and the other was an oil object (sorry can’t remember the name). You could throw this before the fire bomb to increase its damage and the radius it can affect.

Just how challenging was the demo?

The demo was actually very hard. I’ve spent numerous hours in Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 2 and the very minor changes, such as the quick-dodge was hard to get used to as I found the camera couldn’t keep up at times. For anyone that has played Demon Souls and the Dark Souls games though, and craves that difficulty will be very happy with how the game is progressing.
Any final thoughts?

I came away very happy. If I could of I would have played it for hours. The world and atmosphere they have created is fantastic. It draws you in and you lose yourself very quickly. You can feel the atmosphere around you and your heart rate will definitely start to increase while you’re playing as you feel it is actually you within the character.

Fans of the souls games will no doubt be very happy when they finally get a chance to play it.

And to anyone else still working on one you have until the 17th of August to get them in. If you really can’t get it complete by then we’ll still be keen to see works in progress.

It’s time for a new avatar and we want to see what you, the listeners can, do.

– Submissions close 17th August 2014.

– The Winning entrant will receive the Season Pass DLC on the platform of their choice. If the entrant already has the DLC an official Dark Souls 2 guide book will be offered in its place.

– Something no smaller than 1024×576 is desirable, but the larger, and higher quality the better.

– While the avatar will be square for the podcast, we would also hope to use it for Youtube and other media. As such it would be best to focus on a 16:9 ratio with a background that can be cropped to be square.

– If you are looking to use our current font it is called Optimus Princepts and can be found online. The winning entry does not however require it to be considered.

]]>For those that missed out or couldn’t be there our first live stream happened on Saturday night and it was a blast. There was a great turn out in the chat and the whole event went really smooth.

In this series Church and I create a new character and the only rules are:

1) Every time we die we have to pass the controller to the other player.
2) While in control of the character we can do whatever we like with it.

As expected our strong, differing opinions make for an interesting watch as we both struggle to get the upper hand to achieve what we would like out of the character all the while making it difficult for the other to achieve their vision.

The next two parts recorded that night will be uploaded over the next few days.

]]>So Church and I recorded Ep10 on Harvest Valley last night and it’ll go live within 48hrs. We touched on the leaked video footage for Project Beast, but had we recorded less than 12hrs later we would have had a WHOLE lot more to say.

Project Beast, or From Soft’s worst kept secret as I think it should now be referred, has been revealed at E3 and many of the rumours were correct. It will be a PS4 exlusive, and it will release in 2015. It is made by From Soft, and most excitingly the team is being lead by Hidetaka Miyazaki. Miyazaki was the director for both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls 1. It is no secret that Miyazaki was much of the driving force that set the tone and many of the finer details in gameplay and storytelling that we’ve come to expect from the Souls games. His abscence on Dark Souls 2 did not go unnoticed and this upcoming release is clearly where he’s been spending his time. It certainly seems to fit the darker tone that he set in Demon’s Souls and if the trailer is anything to go by it seems they may have even far exceeded it.

]]>Going a little stir crazy at work, while I’d rather just be at home cutting this latest episode for the benefit of all you awesome people, I came up with these thoughts while pondering the next area we’ll be covering next week.

Why I think the Pharros lockstones were a poor design choice in Dark Souls 2, and generally cheapen the experience of discovery.

Aside from them being slightly jarring to look at in most of the environments that they’re found, my first real objection is the logistical side of it all. On a recent episode of the podcast we discussed who Pharros was and where these contraptions may have come from. They’re literally peppered throughout the continent of Drangleic and I was left pondering – “how could one man journey through all these areas, set up shop, and go to town chiselling away into walls and assembling intricate mechanisms? And all the while completely left alone by the otherwise incredibly territorial locals in each area”. We hypothesised that he may have been a god, explaining away how he potentially achieved so much, over so many areas and of varying degrees of complexity. But it just felt a tad “dismissive” of the whole thing.

Now the part that I’m truly passionate about however is where I feel FromSoft side-stepped a tonne of exciting potential in favour of these ghoulish faces. The only hurdle to using those often-times very useful devices is “do I have enough lockstones in my inventory to be bothered testing this one?”. I propose that rather than making it a trade off of inventory items, could they not have taken (almost) any of the contraptions and modified them slightly to make it far more about the excitement of discovery? For example take the contraption in No Man’s Wharf. The one that lights up the entire zone and scares the bloathead knocks-offs into hiding. Imagine talking to a friend whose just picked up the game and is having a real hard time dealing with these guys. Now rather than saying to him/her “find that big obvious Pharros-face in the middle of the level and jam a rock in it”, imagine being able to say “Ooo!!! Here’s what you wanna do! Run around and kill all those archers you see until one of them drops a flame arrow. Now with that arrow look toward the roof of the cavern. You might notice a big hanging chandelier. Take your bow and with the fire arrow loose it toward that chandelier. The entire thing will set ablaze and light up the area making those enemies much more manageable”.

Isn’t that cool? Wouldn’t that really suck you into the world and give you a great sense of empowerment as you experimented with the environment and discovered this tiny thing that ends up yielding great changes for the area?

Now, I’m not suggesting throw them all out. Rather take most of those contraptions and put them behind a modest veil of lateral thinking. Things like lighting up an entire wharf with an arrow is the kind of community-made discovery that would get us all praising From for their ingenuity and keep us excited to learn more about this game months after its release. We’re Dark Souls players, we don’t need things handed to us in the form of a face on a wall that magically does things. I want to find illusory walls myself, through exploration, or the aid of orange messages from other worlds. It’s these little hidden nuances in the previous games that kept us excited, kept us together, learning and growing as a community months or even years after their release.

Any time you see one of these contraptions from now on, wonder to yourself, “how would I have slightly modified that to make it less obvious and more impactful?”. See what you come up with. I’m sure anything would be better than sticking a rock into the bottom part of an American power outlet staring at you from it’s rocky abode cut into a wall.

TLDR: Rather than handing you results from sticking a rock in a face, remove the contraption and make it involve lateral thinking to make inflict a change to the world instead.

I’ll hopefully have it all cut and up late tonight. Worst case, early tomorrow. Yay!

]]>Now I know this wont appeal to all of you, but Jiminy-Cricket the gaming gods are cruel to release this on the same day as Dark Souls II. I mean, on one hand we have DaSII – our most anticipated game ever – but on the the other we have a game that just oozes fun.

Admittedly it wasn’t a game that I was terribly caught up in until I got to play the beta and I gotta say, Titanfall sure knows how to put a smile on your face. Raw, unadulterated, balls to the wall fun.

Now I wont let it distract us from our primary focus and task at hand here at The Dark Souls Two. But I assure you, food, sleep and girlfriends be damned. Every moment we’re not soaking in the beauty that is sure to be Dark Souls II, Church and I are going to be blasting up the battlefield in our military grade mechs in Titanfall.

Stay tuned for our upcoming Dark Souls II first impressions episode this Friday/Saturday. And leave a comment letting us know what other game you’re strongly anticipating this year.
